r (and we had a lot) to personal attention throughout the day (Helen met us with cocktails at the end of the aisle, brought us appetizers, made sure we had drinks for the toasts and dinner served to us at our sweetheart table, and tailored the timeline when things ran even smoother than planned). As a tip to brides, we elected to do all the planned moments (first look, portraits, family photos, grand entrance, dances, toasts, etc.) early in the day / night such that after dinner we and our guests had autonomy to do as we pleased, and it was the best decision we made. We did our grand entrance into cocktail hour then greeted all our guests during cocktail hour so that we got to say hello to everyone then enjoy dinner and the rest of the night without feeling like we were pulled in a million directions! Helen was so helpful in orchestrating that, and my husband and I felt like we had so much quality time together and with guests because of it. Thank you Helen and Coastal for our dream wedding!

g planning from table assignments to timeline planning. She communicated with all my vendors in the days leading up to the wedding and took a lot off my plate. I had a lot of help from my family which comes with a lot of different opinions. Lexie and her team kept my family in check during the reception and always checked with me when a family member tried to make a suggestion. To me, knowing when to ask the bride versus when not to ask the bride on the wedding day is the difference between a good coordinator and a great coordinator.

ore my wedding and was always checking in and helping any way I needed. But on the actual day she was a rockstar from picking up our cake and snacks for the bridal suite to making sure the ceremony was set up exactly how I wanted to making sure my drink was refreshed. She kept us on time actually we were like 10-15 minutes early on everything which was amazing. If you are needing a coordinator for your wedding day I would highly suggest you ask for emma she truly was amazing and so sweet. She made sure all I was worried about was dancing and enjoying time with my guest if anything went wrong I knew nothing about it. Definitely ask for Emma!

g at her job she is so nice. She was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding and honestly without her the day of would’ve been horrible. She stoped the mother of the bride from trying to help with her job and told her just to enjoy the night because her and her team have it. She made sure everyone was accommodated for and was honestly just the best. I will recommend Emma for any bride and whenever I get married I will seek her out myself.

After attending numerous weddings and witnessing couple after couple deal with the same issues, I can say with confidence that having a full planned, and especially Emma, was the best decision we made. We truly got to be the guests of honor at our own wedding as opposed to the host. We highly recommend Coastal Celebrations!

We had the absolute best experience working with Emma Gruber from Coastal Celebrations for our wedding. Coastal Celebrations was recommended to us through our venue, and we are so ...

incredibly thankful our paths crossed. From the very beginning, Emma was detailed, thoughtful, and completely invested in bringing our vision to life. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, from vendor coordination and décor placement to layout and our full wedding day timeline. I had a LOT of one-off questions and emails throughout planning, and Emma handled every single one quickly and flawlessly. She always remembered exactly where we left off and followed up on anything we were still deciding on. That level of organization and care meant so much. What really stood out was how calm and collected she always was. I can definitely be a little all over the place with planning, and Emma’s steady energy grounded me through the entire process. On our wedding day, she was everywhere in the best way. Every time I looked around, she was already handling something and keeping everything running smoothly. We truly could not have asked for a better planner. If you’re getting married and working with Coastal Celebrations, you are in the best hands. Emma, if you’re reading this, thank you for everything. You are truly the best!

dding by the book at all - we had a fully bespoke three day celebration, with many different moving parts, lots of different colors and floral arrangements, and massive amounts of food and decorations. Lexie not only helped us smoothly navigate the complexities of planning an out-of-the-box wedding in Saint Augustine, but she truly made it our dream celebration! Lexie was incredibly communicative, easy to work with, always prompt and on top of deadlines, and was very helpful in making sure that the vendors we chose were in line with our vision. She’s a great wedding planner, yes, but she is also a great person, and that made all the difference. If you are getting married in Saint Augustine, I cannot recommend Coastal Celebrations or Lexie King enough! They will make your wedding day everything you’ve dreamed of!

The entire staff was organized, supportive, and truly a dream to work with. As an overthinker, I appreciated their guidance more than I can say. The room reveal felt like a fairy tale, and our guests-both local and traveling-were blown away by how beautiful the venue was. We are so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding unforgettable. It was truly a dream come true!

Isabella went above and beyond in ways we will never forget, including literally carrying my dress through the streets while we filmed and took photos.

Coastal Celebrations exceeded every expectation we could have ever imagined. As the mother of the bride, I was given the authority to work closely with the planners while our daugh...

ter finished law school, and from day one, Owner Lindsay Ohlin and lead planner Emma Gruber were nothing short of extraordinary. Over 18 months of planning, they orchestrated a grand Christmas-time wedding for 300 guests with absolute precision. Every single detail—from the very first concept to the final send-off—was executed flawlessly. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and their creative ideas, infused with fun flair and elegance, brought our vision to life in ways we didn’t even know were possible. They handled everything seamlessly: invitations and all paper products, rentals, transportation, timelines, logistics - literally everything. The organization of the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself was perfection. Their guidance in selecting vendors was impeccable, resulting in an experience that felt cohesive, elevated, and magical. The event itself was truly a fairy tale: Christmas trees, string quartets, a live band, carving stations, live watercolor artists, florals and candles beyond stunning, and a dessert bar that honestly didn’t look real. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better—Santa himself made an appearance at the end of the night. As cold sparks lit the exit and the newlyweds departed in a classic car, it marked the perfect ending to one of the best days of our lives. Lindsay and Emma truly knocked it out of the park. It is hard to find words to fully express how they transformed our daughter’s wedding dream into a breathtaking reality. Coastal Celebrations delivers not just events, but once-in-a-lifetime memories. We will be forever grateful.

fect. If I could give Emma more than 5 stars I would. The closer it would get to our wedding day, the more people would ask me if I was starting to get nervous. My answer was always no, Emma had her hand on everything! Not once was I stressed or overwhelmed. She was/is ON IT, constantly giving me a sense of peace throughout the whole process! It was the biggest blessing to have her in control of our day and everything that surrounded it. I will brag about Emma and her friends at Coastal Celebrations any chance I get! If there is a CEO of getting it done and done well, it is Emma , the queen herself!

ught organizing our wedding would be easy but I quickly realized just how much I needed Isabella’s expertise. From our very first meeting at the venue, we knew she would do everything possible to ensure our day was absolutely perfect. We booked the Day-Of Coordination package, and Isabella stepped in fully about three months before the wedding. Having her coordinate with all of our vendors was invaluable as she made sure everyone was aligned and nothing was overlooked. Isabella joined our final vendor calls and truly held our hands as all the loose ends were tied up. During our 30-day walkthrough, we covered every single detail of the day, and I left feeling completely relieved and confident. On the wedding day itself, Isabella went above and beyond. She came to the Airbnb where the bridal party was getting ready, collected our dresses, and headed to the venue to ensure everything was perfectly set up. Throughout the day, she kept us on schedule and was always right by my husband’s and my side, making sure we had everything we needed. Everyone says something will go wrong on your wedding day but I can honestly say nothing did, and that is entirely because of Isabella. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and the entire team at Coastal Celebrations. I promise you will not regret booking them!

ail goes missed, she is extremely organized, knowledgeable, professional, great at communicating, and ran our entire event flawlessly. She made a very daunting process of wedding planning enjoyable and kept everything on track. She was there every step of the way to guide in what needed done each week to stay on track, with suggestions and answers to every question. The week of the wedding she had everything so prepared that we were really able to enjoy a stress free time (during a very busy night of lights season!). The day of the wedding was perfect. With her timeline, arrangements, attentiveness, and knowledge really showing through to execute a flawless day. She truly could not have done a better job, and we can’t recommend her enough.

We also had a welcome party the day before since a lot of our guests were coming from out of town, and the venue we initially booked unexpectedly closed, and she heard this through the grapevine and informed us then helped us find another one which was honestly way better. I cannot say enough good things about lexie and the whole team!

She completely eliminated the stress and hard work from the planning process, guiding us through every step, answering every question, and offering the best advice. When I dropped off our décor and signage, she was able to list off the top of her head everything I needed to bring. she is that organized. Helen is incredibly kind, professional, and on top of everything. After the wedding, we returned to our Airbnb and all our leftover food, personal items, clothes, and toiletries had already been delivered and set inside for us. I could go on forever about how amazing she is. 100/10 recommend thank you again, Helen, for everything!

on between our many vendors, including a few last minute adds. We knew we could trust her with any question we had, and her responses were prompt and professional. Every step of the way, she informed us of our outstanding to-dos which really gave us peace of mind. The day of our wedding, nobody worked harder than Helen. She was everywhere all at once, meticulously coordinating every detail to perfection. We had a few last-minute questions and fires the day of the wedding, and every time, we said “let’s find Helen.” We put our full trust in her from start to finish, and we are so glad that we did. A few examples of Helen going above and beyond: - We informed her last-minute of a strict dietary restriction roughly 20 minutes before dinner started, and she was able to coordinate with the caterer to accommodate it. - She assisted my wife with cleaning her dress after dirtying it during our outdoor photos. - She reached out to the venue and vendors with questions that we had for them. - I ran out of time to write a card for my mother, and approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony, she found me so I could write it. I opened the card with my mom 15 minutes before the ceremony, and it was a very special moment that I can thank Helen for. Needless to say, we highly recommend using Helen for your wedding planning and coordination needs. Thank you, Helen!

re all spot on. After more than a year of planning and her meticulous attention to detail, the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding were spectacular and the weekend flew by! It was perfect and everything that they had hoped for-even exceeding their expectations! Between the rain and the historic tidal flooding, Emma and her team were resilient and quickly pivoted to accommodate the changing weather conditions. I can't believe that Emma and her assistant, along with the hotel manager used their own cars to shuttle the wedding party and guests to the wedding venue when the transportation was unable to get down the very flooded streets. Emma remained completely unfazed and the wedding ceremony continued on time and was seamless. I would have bet a Mega Millions lottery ticket that the wedding would be inside, but Emma called it and the bride and groom were able to have their rooftop wedding! After watching Emma in action on Friday and Saturday nights with all of the planning, the details, organization, and packing up, my immediate thought was how much more difficult her job was than mine- as an Obstetrician. Emma did all of this with a leg brace after recent knee surgery! Thank you, thank you, thank you Emma! You're the best!
